The APT Asian Poker Series Cambodia 2015 continues in full swing, with Day 1B of the Main Event now over. Meanwhile three more side events have played out. These include Event 6 – $220 Pot Limit Omaha Hi, Event 7 – $330 No Limit Hold’em 2 and Event 8 – $165 Deep Stack Turbo 1.

Dhaval Mudgal who was in great spirits with a comfortable 63,575 in chips after Day 1A of the Main Event, decided to hop over into Event 8. However, despite a pretty good run, he missed the money by a whisker when he “bubbled” the tournament in sixth place, with only the remaining five cashing the event.

In Event 7, an Indian-origin player from Singapore – Dhanesh Chainani finished in third place for $1,830.
